It was in the stars.
When Amy and Paul met at graduate school, they were both earning their degrees in Space Studies. Amy went on to become a librarian by day, and a science fiction writer by night. Paul became a planetary scientist for NASA and when they married, they imagined having two big dogs some day.
But 11 years ago the planets aligned purrfectly when they found a sick little kitten [Casey] in the parking lot of their building.
"We thought we'd take him to the vet and get him fixed right back up and then find him a home, but three months later we were still giving him daily medicine and by then he was ours, of course!
"Then we adopted a sister for him [RaeAnn], then noticed all the ferals in the parking lot and decided to trap a couple of them (for neuter and re-release, but that's not how it worked out, of course!). Then we became known as the neighborhood cat people"..... Agamemnon, Kira, Pixel, Precious, and Jean-Luc thought their new home was just out of this world!
RaeAnn, who is the confirmed mama's girl of the group , hopes you will support your favorite local animal shelter. Her favorite is: Best Friends Animal Society
Thanks for visiting and Live Long and Prosper!
